try on your machine

The command podman run is used to run a container using Podman, a container engine similar to Docker. It creates and starts a new container instance based on the specified image.

Here is the breakdown of the command you provided:

--volume ${-path-to-host_path}:${-path-to-container_path}: This flag is used to mount a volume from the host machine to the container. You need to replace ${-path-to-host_path} with the actual path of the directory or file on the host machine that you want to mount. Similarly, ${-path-to-container_path} should be replaced with the path in the container where you want to mount the volume.
${image:tag}: This specifies the image and tag of the container you want to run. You need to replace ${image} with the name of the image and ${tag} with the specific tag or version of the image.
${command}: This represents the command (or multiple commands) that you want to run inside the container. It can be any executable or script that is available in the specified image.

To use this command, you need to open your terminal and run it with the appropriate values for the placeholders. Make sure you have Podman installed and have the specified image available.
